Record-Low Temperature Tied In Maryland Wednesday

BALTIMORE, MD — There were record temperatures across the region Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. The agency documented two records.

Baltimore tied a record low that was more than 100 years old. There was a reading of 22 degrees Fahrenheit at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, which was also the record low for Baltimore on Nov. 13, 1911, the National Weather Service reported.

At Dulles International Airport, officials said a record low temperature of 19 degrees Fahrenheit was set. The old record was 21 degrees, which officials said was from Nov. 13, 1963.

"A very cold morning across the forecast area," the National Weather Service reported around 10:45 a.m. See the forecast at the end of the article.

Due to the cold snap that hit Tuesday, Montgomery County issued a hypothermia alert through 4 p.m. Wednesday, and Anne Arundel County opened warming centers.
